Zenodo provides version based DOI for successively updated data and software. Github projects can be automatically imported into Zenodo.

Environments for Collaborative Research

1. European Open Science Cloud EOSC The EOSCpilot project will support the first phase in the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). It will:

• propose and trial the governance framework for the EOSC and contribute to the development of European open science policy and best practice;
• develop a number of demonstrators functioning as high-profile pilots that integrate services and infrastructures to show interoperability and its benefits in a number of scientific domains; and
• engage with a broad range of stakeholders, crossing borders and communities, to build the trust and skills required for adoption of an open approach to scientific research.

These actions will:

• build on and leverage already available resources and capabilities from research infrastructure and e-infrastructure organisations to maximise their use across the research community;
• reduce fragmentation between data infrastructures by working across scientific and economic domains, countries and governance models; and
• improve interoperability between data infrastructures by progressing and demonstrating how data and resources can be shared even when they are large and complex and in varied formats.
